[Rhodes22-list] Fresh Water Pump

[Eaton, Gil]

	Hi CT,
	I think the Attwood can still be bought but it comes with a faucet.
I replace mine after the dog chewed it with a Flo-Jet 3.3 gpm under the
sink.  It's supposed to draw about 3 amps, has neat slide lock connections
for water hose (anchor and muddy dog wash down) and other utility jobs.
Practical Sailor liked it too.

Greetings all,
 
The original fresh water pump (an Atwood) died.  I had always had some
trouble with it but it wasn't until I replumbed and attempted to
reconnect the faucet that I found the connection under the head was held
together by electrical tape and corroded over time and contact with
water.  The Atwood was a two amp pump that doesn't appear to be
available any more.  Any suggestions from the list?  I'm using the same
style faucet that won't accept anything over 5A.
 
Also, shouldn't there be an inline fuse somewhere?  I didn't see
anything in the circuit (battery to pump & faucet).  I'm electrically
challenged so am not sure what course to take.
 
Appreciate your assistance.
 
CT
